I'm feeling really discouraged about my supply right now. My daughter seems to have a very random eating pattern and I can't always tell when she's full because she tends to fall asleep. I pump after I feed her, but I can only maybe get an oz from each breast. Sometimes less.. Baby girl was 9lb 2oz at birth and was only 8lbs 8.5oz at 6 days old. My doctor acted worried and told me I may have to supplement with formula if she isn't back up to birth weight at our next appt (today, 9 days old). I'm so worried and nervous. She's been having about 6 poopy diapers and 6 or more wet. I thought that was a sign she was getting plenty, but now I don't have a clue. Does it sound like I'm not sustaining her? I'm so heartbroken over how this feels.

Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
3 month old bleeding monthly
So I have no clue if this is normal or if I should be worried. Of course I am a little worried anyways but my 3 month old baby girl has had pink blood in her diaper atleast one day each month. It's like a little pink streak. I know her bleeding that first month is normal but every month? It's like she has a mini period/spotting. I would call her doctor but the only working phone we own is my husbands and he's at work. This is the 3rd month it's happened and I'm a li...
I also recently found out that I can't take maternity leave only having been at my job since March... I must put in my two weeks when I am ready, and be completely rehired back after baby and recovery from second c section 😰😰😰😰 I'm so worried. What if they don't hire me back, and I have a two year old and an infant and no job. I am terrified about this
My husband takes his cousin girlfriend to work. Should I be worried about the FEMALE coming on to my husband?
One of the peds my daughter sees told me it took his kid 2 weeks to get back to birth weight and his kid is perfectly healthy. No need to stress over it as long as you're getting plenty of wet diapers.
